Editorial Reviews

Review

"I believe that So You Want To Be A Comics Retailer... is mandatory reading for anyone who dreams of opening a comic shop and store owners ready to re-evaluate their operation. There's plenty of food for thought in this book for even the most experienced comics retailer." -- Mel Thompson, Thompson & Ass. Direct Market Consultants

"Rick Boal... gives potential comic entrepreneurs something they haven't had before: a starting point. (He) provides the entire field with a cursory introduction to a lot of information it hasn't had easy access to before." -- Comic Buyer's Guide, 7-21-95

"This book is a timeless resource for aspiring and experienced comic book retailers; an accurate portrait of the travails of the business. Either have it or suffer the consequences of not having it." -- Paco Underhill, Underhill & Ass. Retail Consultants

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: So You Want To Be A Comics Retailer (Paperback)
This book was the 1st and is still a good reference work.
Dated information is balanced by a hefty amount of good advice
A great book to consider buying before you plan to open a
new comic book store .While the numbers for cost are old the
basic operations information is helpfull
